I have to agree with Dengar here. The only thing that really would have improved about RWBY if Monty were still here would be the fights. People forget the writing for the series has always been pretty bad even when Monty was working on it. The only volume that I feel was consistently well-written throughout was volume 3 (and I’ve even heard people disagree on that) which Monty had little to do with. Even volume 4, as poor as the writing was in some parts, was still better written overall than volumes 1 & 2. Monty was always a style over substance type of person. He had good ideas, but could never execute them very well. So the writing would still be bad regardless. Though, Volume 5 was pretty abysmal even by the standards of these writers.

Speaking of which, though I already went over most of my issues with volume 5 in a previous post, here’s some more problems I forgot to cover that I hope volume six will fix. First is the exploration of the kingdoms. Aside from a far way shot and some still images in the first episode, we never got to see much of Mystral at all other than Haven. Mystral is supposed to have the biggest black market in Remnat, but that’s never explored or even mentioned. I hope in Volume 6 we’ll get to see more of Atlas than just the academy.

Another problem I have is the lack of grimm. All the other volumes featured the grimm very prominantlyand always introduced a variety of new grimm. Volume 5 introduced the Lancer grimm, but that was it. That was the only grimm featured in the entire volume, which is insane.

You know, when I finished the volume I was greatly disappointed. But as I keep thinking about it I get more and more pissed. This volume was trash. Is it the worst volume of RWBY? I don’t know. It’s tough to beat volume 1. Volume 5 certainly looks better. Volume 1 also had the Jaune/Cardin segment, which is the worst thing in all of RWBY in my opinion. On the other hand, volume1 had better action overall, and Ruby actually felt like the main character.

If the writers could improve even a few of the many problems this last volume, like the slow fights or the horrible pacing, then Volume 6 would be a major improvement. If they would give Ruby the spotlight and actually explain the silver eyes that would automatically make Volume 6 ten times better than this volume.

Miles and Kerry need to step it up, or RWBY is going to go the way of Bleach where fans will eventually get fed-up with the bullcrap and start jumping ship in mass. It’s already started. There’s still time for RT to turn it around before the series crashes and burns, and then fades out like Bleach did. That would be a complete disgrace to Monty.
